balkan great value for money but do not like planes they use so go with thomson. The ski-ing and great company make up for any problems you may have. Bulgaria is great and it is difficult to not go every year.
If you book independantly the hotel will sort out a reasonable transfer and ski packages don't necessarily work out more expensive if you know where to go. Book on here for example!!
At least you have notice of your change a few years ago we booked balken for our summer holiday on getting on the plane everyone looked realy tanned more like they had already been on holiday than just going! thats because they had just been! we had to stop for 2 hours at glasgow airport to drop them off and pick other passengers up to top it off for one family they had travelled to stanstead airport from glasgow as they were told there was no flight from glasgow!!! on the plus side bulgaira ...
